and the enthusiasm was great. There

To-day and to night will be rousing

will ensue.

The correspondence between the
President and Dir. Manning, grow
ing out of the latter's resignation
as Secretary of the Treasury, is in
tensely interesting. The following
passages will show the genuineness
Of attachment existing between these
two men. Mr.. Manning says sig
nificantly:
Returning t9the ranks of that
great party wh&h has called you to
its lead, ! shay still hope to follow
its fortunes under your successful
guidance with a fellow citizens loyal
pride"
The President, recognizing the
services of his friend pays him this
tribute:
"Your labors, your achievements,
your success, and your devotion to
public duty are fully seen and
known, and they challenge the APP
probation and gratitude of all your
countrymen.
Since | must at last relinquish my
hope of your continuance at my side
as counselor and colaborer, and since
/ cannot question the reasons upon
which your request to be relieved is
based, ii only remains for me to ac-
cept the resignation you have ten
dered, and to express my profound
thanks for all that you have done
for me IN sharing manfuIly my la

ELECTION NOTICE.

Notice is hereby given that in pu--
suance of an order and judgment of the
circuit court of Pope county, Arkansas,
made at its November term, 1856, an
election will be held at the several pre-
cincts, in said county, on Saturday the
10th day of March. 1887, upon the fol-
lowing questions, to-wit:
Ist. Shall the county seat be removed
to Russellyille.
End. Shall the county seat be remov-
ed to Atkins.
Said election to be held by the judges
heretofore appointed to hold the gener-
al election held Sept. 9th 1856, and to
be held and conducted in the same man-
ner that general elections are re aired
by law to be held.

CONCERNING the proposed farmers
convention at Little Rock next Sat
urday, we could not say more than
is said in the following from the
Washington Press;
Col. Locke, of Alma, whose sigma
ture is first appended to the call, is
an active farmer and leading Wheel
er of Crawford county; and his con
nection with it guarantees the good
faith of the call and OF the earnest
and sincere purpose of the conven
ton. There is no politics in the
movement. IL means Cuisines"
and business only, but very much of
business. 1t is not the purpose of
the convention to seek to bring about
agricultural prosperity by electing
any particular set of men to office,
nor to make bountiful crops grow by
legislative enactments; but to take
hold Of the business of farming with
a practical hand, look the situation
squarelv in the face, and, finding
wisdom in multitude of counsel,
try to bring about necessary change
in agricultural methods and business.
To this end it is desired that the
representative farmers of the State
meet and confer. When they have
met they will not attempt to find a
side-issue for escape from the ills
and disadvantages that prey upon
them. They will rather undertake
to meet them squarely, to grapple
with them, overcome and destroy
them. Men in every other business
have found profit IN counsel and con
cert of action. The farmers may
also turn the same to good account.

Matter of Location of

PoPE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, NovEM-
BIER TERN, 1856.
L. NJ. Neal, j. Brown. ct AL.
VS..
J. L. Shinn ct al. and E.A. Darr ct all
Now on this day this cause comes on
to be heard upon the amended petition
of contestants and exhibits thereto and
the demurrer Of contestees thereto, this
cause being in this court on appeal
from the order and Judgment of the
County Court, setting aside and hold
ing for naught the election held in
Pope county, Ark, on the 9th day of
September, 1886, pursuant to an order
of the County Court, submitting the
following propositions, wit:
lst. Shall the County Seat of Pope
County be removed or changed from
Dover.
I'd. Shall the County Seat of Pope
County be removed or changed to Russ
ellville.
Sd. Shall the County seat of Pope
County be removed or changed TO At
kins.
The object and prayer of said con-
testants being to set aside the said cleo
ton, and the Court after hearing the
argument of counsel, and being well
and sufficiently advised doth sustain
the demurrer to petition of contestants;
and the contestants refusing to plead
further, the court doth find that ac-
cording to the Assessors books filed in
the office of the Clerk of the County
Court for the year 1856, there are i'm
Pope County Thirty-six Hundred and
Eighty-eight voters; that at said cleo
ton Two Thousand and Sixty-five le-
gal votes were cast for change of the
County Seat of Pope County from Do
yer, the existing location; that Four
teen Hundred and Eighty-five were
cast for the removal or change of said
county seat to Russellville; and that
Twelve hundred votes were cast for re-
moval or change to Atkins; that the
proposition to change the County Seat
OF said county from Dover, the existing
location, was carried by legal and
sufficient majority, but that neither
Russellville nor Atkins obtained suf-
hcient number of votes TO locate the
County Seat at either place.
1t is therefore ordered and adiudped
by the court that an election be held at
the several voting precincts IN Pope
county, Ark, on the Nineteenth day
OF March, 1887, at which election the
following propositions shall be sub
mitted to the qualified voters of said
county:
lst. Shall the County Seat be re-
moved to Russellville.
I'd. Shall the County Seat be re-
moved to Atkins.
And that said election be advertised
ana held and the returns thereof made
In the manner prescribed by law.

dering the election therein named.

THERE is good reason for beliey-
ing that the sentiment favoring a
constitutional amendment for the
election Of United States Senators
by the direct vote Of the people, is
constantly growing. Representative
Little, of Ohio, has proposed an
amendment having this object in
view, and the following is given as
some Of his reasons for proposing the
change:
"The present method of election
is founded upon dIstrust of the
people which our history shows to
be unwarranted. The argument that
if the principal cannot be trusted
the agent cannot has no answer in
this case; but the converse 10 not
true.
There is q strong reason aside for
this change. OF course, refer to
the power and use Of money. 1t, in
notable instances in our recent his.
tory, has determined the election of
Senators. / do not care to elaborate
on this. The subject is in every
mind 1t is also in everybod's
knowledge how difficult, not TO say
impossible, it is under the present
system to apply the corrective. The
popular election would be long
step in that direction, in my opin-
ion"
Representative Little was formerly
Attorney General Of Ohio, and his
views carry great weight. Tire cleo
ton of United States Senators by
popular vote is step in to-
direction OF purity OF elections, ed
well as Of the fair representation p(
states in the Senate.

Importance TO the people than to rid
themselves of the curse of excessive

too, TO make the exemptions, espec
tally the homestead exemption, mean
something. As 1T is it affords no
protection to the wife and children,
for whose special benefit it was de

that we rid ourselves of the great

THE HOUSE.
The Balch railroad bill was the
special order Immediately after the
morning hour. When 1T was taken
up Mr.. Hicks rose in his seat and
said he thought the bill had been
sufficiently discussed, and therefore
moved the previous question.
The motion prevailed and the bill
was read the third and last time.
Mr.. Balch said the bill had been
discussed several days; it had been
printed and distributed. He could
not see that there was any necessity
for further discussion. He believed
the mind of each member was posi-
lively made up on each section. Six
months ago the demand for railroad
regulation became so strong that
congress passed the interstate COM
merce bill. That the states had
power to regulate rates had long
ceased to be disputed by the rail
roads. 1t was patent that at this
late day in the session, unless legis-
latlon such as contemplated by this
bill be accomplished, it would be i'm
practicable to secure any legislation
at this session. He was not one OF
those who believed railroad men
we're robbers. They were just like
other men would be. The only
practical and efficient means to reg
ulate freights was by a commission.
The bill then passed by the follow.
ing vote-yeas so, noes 80.
